Xue Xia was completely dumbfounded, and Cong Pei'er was dumbfounded. She asked her subordinates to support her. Is this something a human being can do...
Concubine Ning smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. Is this the other side of Zhu Yunwen?
Yao Shan looked at Xue Xia, frowned and asked, "Did you hit him?"
Xue Xia grimaced, finally knowing how Zhu Yunwen got away. This was to prepare the golden cicada to escape from its shell, abandoning the soldiers to protect the handsome man, poor himself...
"That's right."
Xue Xia couldn't deny it, so many people had seen it.
"I am Yao Shan, the prefect of Suzhou. You resisted the government and beat the officials. I am now taking you into custody. You will be interrogated and dealt with later. Come on, arrest him!"
Yao Shan said with a sullen face, "If you admit it, then the matter will be easier to handle."
Just when Xue Xia was about to make a move, Zhu Yunwen stood up and said: "If you don't go to jail, who will go to jail? Magistrate Yao, I saw him beating someone with my own eyes, and he beat him so violently. Then, the one who was still lying down was the one he hit with a bench." …”
Hu Guangcai opened his mouth, and the other shopkeepers present were also dumbfounded. I wonder if this young master has a brain problem. Who doesn't know that he is your servant? How could a servant stand up for you, but you betrayed others?
Zhu Yunwen took a deep look at Xue Xia, and then said quickly in a low voice: "I'll leave the prison part to you."
Xue Xia suddenly realized that Zhu Yunwen killed two birds with one stone. One was to escape by himself, and the other was to find a way to send himself to the prefect's dungeon, and then investigate whether there was an unjust prison in Suzhou.
Xue Xia didn't know if Zhu Yunwen had planned all of this at the beginning, but just because of the issue of new rice and old rice, he mobilized the Suzhou grain store merchants, government officials, and prefects to look at business and prison. Law Division.
Although the whole incident started from a small beginning, it seemed that everything was connected and everything was well arranged like a plan.
What a mind!
Zhu Yunwen was not worried about Xue Xia's safety. At most, he would have to endure some hardships without risking his life. Compared with getting to know the legal situation in Suzhou, it was completely worth it for him to endure some hardships.
"let's go."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Concubine Ning, who stood up with a smile.
"We can't let them go!"
Hu Guangcai shouted sadly, wagging his fingers: "Although this is the person who beat the person, he is the one who ordered the beating. We can't let him go!"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Hu Guangcai, chuckled, and said, "Did any of your eyes see my instructions? When he hit people, did I nod too much? When he hit people, did he ask me? No, since he didn't, Why do you say it was my instigation?"
"But you are in the same group!"
"Is there any evidence?"
"You guys came in together and even talked!"
"These shopkeepers also came together. Could it be that they are also in the same group? We have talked to each other and they are in the same group. Then Magistrate Yao also talked to me. Could it be that he is also in the same party?"
Hu Guangcai was completely defeated, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Hu Guangcai with disdain, thinking that when the school held debates, he could make three points sophistry, three points falsehood, and the remaining four points truth. How could you get around me...
If we go around further, it is not impossible to label you as a rebel. After all, everything is connected. If there are too many connections, it will be invulnerable even outside the earth...
"Prefect Yao, do you want to keep me?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Yao Shan with sharp and majestic eyes.
Yao Shan couldn't help but feel his heart sinking, and finally shook his head and said: "Since we have caught the person who beat the official, and you are not accomplices, there is no reason to keep you. But - I still want to invite you to the house for this house deed." The government office will explain it clearly." Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said: "There is no need to go to the government office. I will continue to accompany my wife to visit Gusu City. Shopkeeper Hu knows what the house deed is, and the people around him also know it, so there is no need to use it. Me. Of course, if you need to find me, you can find me through Wang Bin."
"Wang Bin?"
Yao Shan was surprised.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly: "I am staying temporarily in the backyard of the medical clinic he is about to open. What other problems do you have now, Prefect Yao?"
Yao Shan looked at Zhu Yunwen and finally turned sideways to get out of the way: "Until the matter is investigated clearly, please don't leave Suzhou!"
Zhu Yunwen smiled heartily and said: "You are not the only one waiting for the result. See you some other time. Madam, please."
Concubine Ning was used to Zhu Yunwen's rather "unconventional" behavior. When she walked over, Sun Dong glanced at Xue Xia. Xue Xia nodded solemnly, signaling Sun Dong to be careful.
Sun Dong understood that now that he was not in Huqiu, there were only a few people around him. The Hangzhou Security Bureau branch was already cooperating secretly. One missing Xue Xia would not affect security protection.
Zhou Baitong looked at it awkwardly, gritted his teeth, took out the money from his sleeve, handed it to Hu Guangcai and said, "You are in trouble now, I won't accept the money..."
Hu Guangcai fainted with a grunt.
Damn Zhou Baitong, I have never seen you so generous on weekdays. How can you pretend to be generous in front of Lord Tong Sen and Lord Magistrate? Are you pitying me, or are you trying to kill me?
How could Yao Shan, such a smart person, not be able to see the trick in this? He glanced at Hu Xin and said: "It may not be beneficial to spread the food too much."
Hu Xin gritted his teeth, kicked Hu Guangcai, and then said: "From today on, the Hu family will not have a grain store!"
Yao Shancai didn't care whether Hu Xin would really close his grain store. The court had not yet strictly investigated matters involving both officialdom and business. At this time, it was normal for officials to work part-time and do some business.
"Two adults, let's take our leave now."
Yang Chun plans to leave, and he must tell Shen Yiyuan as soon as possible to let him know that the emperor has arrived in Suzhou!
Yao Shan couldn't keep Zhu Yunqi because Zhu Yunqi was too slippery and pushed him away completely. There was really no clear evidence, and he had an intuition, so he had no choice but to let him go. But for these shopkeepers, Yao Shan didn't need any clear evidence. .
"Let's make everything clear here."
Yao Shan ordered the closure of Hu's Grain Store, then listened to the confessions of several shopkeepers and clerks, looked at Hu Xin and Hu Guangcai from time to time, and finally said: "So, the house deed was really lost to the other party?"
Hu Guangcai immediately shouted: "I'm just talking..."
Yao Shan slammed the table and said sternly: "Just talking? If you really bribe these shopkeepers, insist that they are all new rice, and judge that the other party has lost the bet, when you ask for a thousand taels of silver, the other party will tell you that it is just It’s just talk, will you let them go?”
Hu Guangcai was speechless.
This does not depend on the situation. If the situation is favorable to you, you will naturally pursue it to the end and never give up. Now that the situation is unfavorable to you, you can only talk about it, just kidding...
Yao Shanyu was still angry: "I introduced new business strategies to Suzhou, which made Suzhou prosperous. However, we have only started to develop for more than a year, and you actually started to use the old as the new and the inferior as the good! When doing business, the most important thing is integrity. Words! If you don’t even have integrity and make money without conscience, that’s black-hearted money! Don’t your consciences hurt?!”
Shopkeepers Wu, Shopkeepers Liu and others were aggrieved. Why were we even disciplined? This was all the fault of Hu's Grain Store.
Yao Shan sneered and said: "You think you can make more money this way, but in fact you are extremely short-sighted! If you don't do business for a long time and only pursue temporary profits, then you will never be able to make your business bigger! I heard that Shanxi merchants established a Chamber of Commerce, the rules of the Chamber of Commerce clearly stipulate that honesty is the basis and fraud is to be eliminated. Now it seems that you are not a little bit worse than Shanxi merchants. In order to hold on to the money bag, you have even thrown away the most basic consciousness of businessmen!"
Hu Xin got angry and kicked Hu Guangcai to the ground. He pointed and cursed: "How many times have I emphasized that you should treat others with integrity and sincerity? How dare you go behind my back and give me inferior products? I'll beat you to death." !”
Yao Shan looked at the crackling fight and had no intention of stopping. He pretended that he couldn't see or hear him. If you were acting in front of him, then you should continue acting. Don't stop. It's a good thing if you really want to beat him to death. The yamen servant can still Take you, Hu Xin, back with you.
Yang Chun and other shopkeepers asked to leave again, and Yao Shan allowed them to leave.
After leaving Hu's Grain Store, Yang Chun ran directly to Pochumen without returning to his shop. He had to tell Shen Yiyuan the news as soon as possible. If it was later, Shen Yiyuan would probably have to go to Taicang Prefecture.
"Shopkeeper Yang, sir, I'd like to invite you."
A guard from the Security Bureau blocked Yang Chun's way. Yang Chun suddenly trembled and looked at Po Chumen in front of him and had to follow him.
Zhu Yunwen and Ning Fei walked into a jewelry store. The shopkeeper introduced the characteristics of the jewelry attentively, and finally told the price. The lowest jewelry was no less than fifty taels, and the highest jewelry was as much as fifty thousand taels.
Concubine Ning fell in love with a unique jade hairpin, which was inlaid with South China Sea blue beads and sold for a thousand taels.
Seeing Concubine Ning's hesitation, Zhu Yunwen decided to buy the jade hairpin, and then asked: "Shopkeeper, this transaction is for a thousand taels. Have you paid all the taxes?"
The shopkeeper was a little surprised. He looked at Zhu Yunwen and saw that there was no one around, so he reminded him in a low voice: "If you are not a member of the imperial court, it is best not to inquire. According to the regulations of the imperial court, only the taxation department, the inspection department, the supervisory censor and the censor are responsible for taxation." Some local officials and businessmen are not qualified to interrogate."
"Oh, that's true."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and motioned to Sun Dong to give him money.
The shopkeeper nodded, then took out the account book. After filling in three copies, he tore off one and handed it to Zhu Yunwen, saying: "This is your purchase receipt. Of the remaining two copies, one needs to be reported to the tax filing department, and the other needs to be reported to the tax filing department." The share is owned by our store. There is never a shortage of tax. Once it is less, there will be heavy fines."
Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised. He looked at the vouchers and asked, "Who came up with this triple ledger?"
The shopkeeper laughed and said: "I heard that it was created by a favored concubine in the palace. It was later used by the government. I don't know who improved the account book, and now we have this type of triple ledger. I have to say that with this Keeping account books saves a lot of trouble."
Concubine Ning snorted, a little unhappy, Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu, such a good thing was not brought out by Zhu Yunwen himself. The reputation and credit belong to Concubine Shu.
Zhu Yunwen thought about it and said: "Actually, I am planning to go into business, so I would like to ask if I have to pay a lot of taxes if I do business?"
When the shopkeeper saw that the other party had paid the money, he was in a good mood and said with a smile: "If you want to do business, I can show you a clear path."
"Oh, I have to ask for advice."
Zhu Yunwen was very interested.
The shopkeeper said mysteriously: "In this business, you must not get into shallow profit-making industries, such as cloth, grain stores, melons and fruits. Although it is profitable, the tax is high. If you want to enter the industry, you should enter the huge profit industry, such as antiques, calligraphy and painting, and jewelry. Jane, brothel famous wine...these taxes are much lower."
Zhu Yunwen was a little confused and asked: "I remember that the commercial tax stipulated by the imperial court is all tax per fifteen. Is there a higher or lower level for different industries?"
The shopkeeper sighed gracefully: "To be honest, we have to thank our Emperor Jianwen..."
